I had a nightmare last night: Daniel Leader admonished me for inoculating the durum starter for the Pane di Altamura. Worse: He secretly exchanged my jar of durum starter with a jar of Folgers Crystals!

I was not given this news. Why has no one told me this? Whom do I blame?

No, seriously...

His Altamura has defeated me 3 times, and that was the final defeat before my incoming success.

I am convinced.

Nay, I am resolved!

Note, however, that as far as baking is concerned, the last time I tried Leader's Altamura, I was as incompetent as Mario Batali trying to make a fig tarte–pastry is not his forté, even if his waistline makes you suspect otherwise. What a disaster, Mario!
